Metapantalla Droste
Eduardo Cariglino

Selected to participate in the Carapantallas Project, Eduardo Cariglino prepared an augmented reality work that brought the carapantallas that are still alive and inhabiting public spaces to the ace studio virtually. With this intervention, Eduardo combined the virtual and physical worlds, as well as playing with the elements of the permanent installation (the rescued carapantallas) and their previous life as supports for street advertising posters.

Taking advantage of the immateriality of his intervention, since it is digital and none of the subsequent material interventions can cover it up, this augmented reality work will remain part of this program until the end of the year. Meanwhile, Eduardo will update his intervention by adding layers of video that are displayed to those who visit the studio to live the experience.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“Audiovisual-interactive artist” is a label I currently feel comfortable with. As an analog person turned digital, I find myself as a kind of missing link between the old and the new, the analog/mechanical and virtual/digital worlds. I like this intermediate position; I feel it gives me an advantage over those who are only analog or only digital natives.

As an artist, my goal is to provoke thought in my audience, challenge their positions, and get my audience active and involved in the issues that any work of art I produce may touch on (politics/climate/economics/psychology/society).
